1. Main Data sets

1.1. "JHRED2014_New.RData" includes two candidate-level data sets, sntv and smdp. They
     are used in the analysis of vote shares.

1.2. "JHRED2014_Invalid.RData" contains two district-level data sets, sntv_district 
     and smdp_district. They are used in the analysis of invalid votes.




2. Additional data sets

2.1. "CatalinacReplicationKakusu.RData" is used to analyze the placebo effect of name
     complexity in section A of the appendix.
	 
2.2. "Manifesto_JHRED_Comparison.RData" is used to compare candidate names in the JHRED
     and campaign manifestos. See section B of the appendix.
	 
2.3. "CommonLastNames.RData" contains the 500 most common last names in Japan. It is used
     in section F of the appendix.
	 
2.4. "JapaneseLetters.xls" contains raw information about the number of strokes and Kanji
     Aptitude Test scores of Japanese letters. Not used during the replication.
	 
	 
	 
	 
3. Replication files

3.1. "Replication01_Main.R" is used to replicate models in Tables 1, 2, and E.2 of the 
     appendix. In case some readers do not want to go through the replication codes,
	 the results of these models (stanfit objects) are also stored in 
	 "StanFits_SNTVComplexity.RData" (Table 1), "StanFits_SMDPComplexity.RData" (Table 2), 
	 and "StanFits_SNTVDifficulty.RData" (Table E.2).
	 
3.2. "Replication02_InvalidVote.R" is used to replicate the analysis of invalid votes in 
     Figure 1 and Table G.2 of the appendix. The models (stanfit objects) are also included 
	 in "StanFits_InvalidVote.RData".

3.3. "Replication03_Interaction.R" is used to replicate the analysis of interaction effects
     in Figure 2 and section H of the appendix. The models (stanfit objects) are also included 
	 in "StanFits_Interaction.RData".
	 
3.4. "Replication04_Appendix.R" includes all codes necessary to replicate the results in the
	 appendix.
